Top 5 Most Expensive Sneakers Ever Made
5. Air Jordan 12 OVO (Drake Edition)
The Air Jordan 12 OVO has always been a popular shoe, however, the Drake edition blew the doors of its hinges, selling for $100,000 on eBay!
Popular with a lot of sports stars, rappers and major celebrities, the Drake edition OVO’s are only really attainable to the rich and famous.
$100,000 makes this one of the most expensive sneakers ever made!
4. Air Jordan 12 (Flu Game)
Not quite in the top three, but pretty close, are the Air Jordan 12 Flu Games.
Once mentioned as the most expensive Jordans in the world; the price really derives from the fact that Michael Jordan wore the sneakers in the infamous “Flu Game,” – a game which he played while having the flu.
3. Buscemi 100 MM Diamond
Coming in at number three on our list of the most expensive sneakers ever made are the Buscemi 100 MM Diamonds.
Loaded with 11.5 carats of diamonds and set in 18-karat gold, these shoes aren’t for the faint-hearted.
If you’re looking for a fresh pair of white kicks, and fancy something totally unique, then cough up $132,000 and they’re yours!
2. Michael Jordan’s Game Worn Converse Fastbreak
Arguably the most expensive game-worn sneakers ever, Michael Jordans Converse Fastbreaks sold for $190,000.
In 1984, team USA won gold at the Olympics in Los Angeles. Decades later, a pair of Converse Fastbreaks signed by Michael Jordan came up for auction.
Originally only expected to reach $100,000, the auction far surpassed every sneaker-heads imagination!
Who’d of thought a pair of converse could be worth $190,000!
1. Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordans
It’s a bit of a steep jump from second to first position, but if you’re thinking of spending $100,000 on a pair of sneakers anyway, then you may as well go one better.
There had to be a day when a pair of sneakers were coated in 24k gold, and that day finally came when Drake collabed with Nike to make the Solid Gold OVO x Air Jordan.
They were created by American artist Matthew Senna and each shoe weighs 50lbs!
$2 Million seems like a good deal with all things considered.
